709: Chapter 698: A Life Chosen by Oneself 709: Chapter 698: A Life Chosen by Oneself A few kilometers of mountain road would have taken others several hours to walk, but Song Yun, with his incredible speed, reached the pass where he had been earlier in less than half an hour.
At that time, Qingluan and the other women were sitting outside the pass, warming themselves by a fire.
Seeing Song Yun return naturally stirred their excitement, and Li Yueyue even grabbed Li Shishi and bombarded her with a slew of questions.
However, Li Shishi was somewhat listless due to a cold and didn’t respond much, which puzzled Li Yueyue.
She wondered if Song Yun might have done something to her older sister, but later she found out that Li Shishi was just sick with a cold.
Li Yueyue quickly fetched some cold medicine and gave it to her.
After taking the medicine, Li Shishi dozed off.
As the only man among the group, Song Yun naturally took on the responsibility of a human pack mule again, carrying Li Shishi down the mountain.
As for the heavier items like tents, the other women each took a little more to carry.
They were all manageable.
From the pass to the car was quite a distance, but since they were descending the mountain, the pace was several times faster than on the way up.
It took less than an hour for everyone to get back to the car, unload their things, and sit in the car as Song Yun drove everyone back to Sunan.
After returning to Sunan, Li Shishi, who had slept for several hours in the car, was much more energetic.
Once back at the villa, she didn’t continue to see a doctor, but instead went upstairs to sleep.
The other women, after the hardships of the previous day and the early morning, were quite tired and sleepy as well, so naturally they all went back to sleep too.
Just when Song Yun was thinking about resting, his phone rang.
“Brother, I’m on vacation!” Xiao Hua’s voice brimmed with irrepressible joy.
“Ah?
You guys are just getting your vacation now?” Song Yun hadn’t expected that high school seniors were only starting their vacation now.
“Yeah, we officially started our winter vacation today, because the year started especially early, so our vacation also started early.
Brother, do you remember what you promised me?” Xiao Hua asked.
“Me?
What did I promise you?” Song Yun tried hard to recall, but it seemed he hadn’t promised Xiao Hua anything.
“Oh, brother, it looks like you’ve forgotten.
Last time when we bought a house, you said, let me start getting some real-world experience early and help me find an internship, right?
Now that I’m on vacation, I can go intern!” Xiao Hua said.
“Ah?
Oh!
I remember now!” Song Yun recalled that he indeed had promised something like that to Xiao Hua, so he said, “Then you tell me, where do you want to intern?”
“I…
I want to find something that can help brother in the future,” Xiao Hua hesitated before saying.
“Help me?
Do you want to join one of my companies?
I have several, you can pick any,” Song Yun boasted.
“I…
I don’t want to join a company,” Xiao Hua said.
“I want to go to…
brother’s business.”
“What?
Go to my business?” Song Yun asked in surprise.
“Do you even know what kind of places my businesses are?”
“I know, aren’t they just some bars, private clubs, and such?” Xiao Hua responded, “I’m clear on all that!”
“And you still want to go?
You should know, those places are chaotic and not for kids like you,” Song Yun advised.
“I’d rather find you a big company for internship.
Even if you want to join one of the top 500 global companies, I can get you in.
As for my business, let’s forget about it.”
“Why, brother, didn’t you say I could choose?
I chose, and now you won’t let me go, aren’t you going back on your word?” Xiao Hua said discontentedly.
“Why do you want to go to my business?” Song Yun asked.
“Give me a reason.”
“Because…
because Xiao Hua wants to be able to help brother in the future!” Xiao Hua said.
“Plus, I think, brother already has many capable subordinates in the company.
Most importantly, I feel that just working 9-to-5 in the company, I can’t really learn much.
I’d rather have more contact with the most genuine side of society.”
“Ha?
How do you know that’s the most genuine side?” Song Yun questioned.
“I heard other people说,I have many friends who say that bars and nightclubs expose the most natural aspects of people without reserve!
I want to see what human nature is really like,” Xiao Hua explained.
“That…” Song Yun hesitated for a moment, then said, “Alright then, tonight, I’ll take you to see what human nature is really like.
Let’s have dinner together later.”
After tidying up, Song Yun took Xiao Hua out for a lavish meal, then the two got into the car, and Song Yun lit a cigarette and slowly smoked.
“It’s still early, I’ll take you to see so-called private clubs first,” Song Yun suggested.
“A lot of people like to dine in these private clubs.
Of course, I must say, the stuff in private clubs is better than outside, but more so, people enjoy a kind of feeling, a feeling beyond ordinary people.”
“Yeah!” Xiao Hua nodded seriously and said, “Brother, you’re not angry with Xiao Hua, are you?”
“How could I be?” Song Yun smiled, ruffled Xiao Hua’s hair, and said, “Your life path should be walked by yourself.
I’ll just watch.”
“Yes!
I definitely won’t disappoint you, brother.”
Song Yun first took Xiao Hua to a mid-level private club under the Shura Alliance.
A mid-level private club where one can enter by paying some money to get a card offers services like dining, foot baths, and saunas all in one.
Song Yun casually acquired a VIP card and led Xiao Hua into the private club.
The lighting inside the club was mostly yellowish, giving it a feel of opulent splendor.
Of course, this was only a mid-level private club, geared mostly towards nouveau riche, who naturally prefer opulence.
Even if there were a few who pretended to appreciate finer taste and style, in the end, they couldn’t escape the lure of BMWs, Mercedes, and gold and silver jewelry.
In this private club, Song Yun showed Xiao Hua what it meant to spend money like water.
For nouveau riche, money was plentiful.
A meal costing tens of thousands was normal, hundreds of thousands typical, and a meal costing several hundred thousand was considered classy.
In this private club, there were ‘princesses’ from various places, beauties of all kinds—black, white, yellow, brown, young, old, all were available.
“This is a den of iniquity,” Song Yun, sitting on a sofa in the club’s lobby, said to Xiao Hua sitting beside him.
“Here, everything is about glitzy glamour.
There’s nothing you can’t get, all transactions are blatantly about money.
See that girl?
She just turned eighteen.
Tonight she’s entertaining her first man, her first night for eight thousand.”
Following Song Yun’s gesture, Xiao Hua saw a very pretty girl, who although young, wore quite”/>
a lot of makeup and had a stunning figure.
